Every culture tells a story
Chronic and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) can present complex and persistent challenges. At CirrusDx, every urine sample undergoes molecular identification and culture workup. This approach provides additional information about what may be contributing to ongoing symptoms or recurrent infection.
By evaluating specimens through complementary laboratory methods in parallel, we’re able to provide a more complete microbiological picture to support informed treatment decisions. Our work is driven by a commitment to uncovering answers that help you better understand your unique UTI experience.
From sample to results
Your urine is collected and sent to CirrusDx. We can even help you do this from home.
Your sample is thoroughly analyzed to determine which antibiotics might be most effective in treating your infection. Your results include pathogen identification and quantification along with a modernized culture workup.
Your test results guide your healthcare provider to prescribe treatment(s) to fight your specific UTI.
How do I get a test?
A healthcare provider needs to order the test for you, with the option of your test collection kit being delivered to your home. To learn more, contact us at info@cirrusdx.com.
What happens to my sample when it arrives?
Your specimen is processed using two complementary approaches. We begin with molecular testing to detect and characterize potential pathogens. In parallel, the sample is directly cultured using modernized microbiology methods to grow and confirm organisms that may be present.
By evaluating the same sample directly with different methods, we’re able to generate a more detailed microbiological profile. This combined approach gives your healthcare provider the information to support more informed decisions about your care.
